Here?s why so many boaters carry Yamaha reliability with them, wherever they go:
Incredibly Light
Yamaha Portables are incredibly light, weighing as little as 37 pounds. Talk about punch you can pack.
Easy to Carry
Select models feature built-in front and rear carry handles for maximum portability. Plus, recent re-designs have made several of our portables, well, even more portable. The F9.9 is 12% lighter than previous designs, and we?ve trimmed 23 pounds from our F6.
Max Maneuverability
Our 5-Step Trim Adjustment and 3-Step Shallow Water Drive System (on select models) protects your propeller in skinny water, making these pintsized powerhouses extremely maneuverable and getting you where you need to go.
Fuel Efficiency
The smaller the motor, the less fuel it consumes, true. However, one of Yamaha?s portables actually made it into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most miles traveled on one gallon of gas, going 67.27 continuous statute miles.
Smart Innovation
Our Easy Oil Retention System allows the F6 and F4 to be stored on their sides or front grip without oil leakage. Our F15 and F20 designs feature a water-cooled fuel pump, boosting power and preventing warm weather starting issues like vapor lock.
Yamaha Portables just seem to get lighter, stronger and smarter, year after year. Let?s take a look at their ever-advancing engineering.

You?re here to wake up the water. Count on Yamaha?s reliable In-Line four strokes to power the fun. Our in-line four-cylinder designs and electronic fuel injection make these babies strong, nimble, compact and light weight. In other words, they?re up for anything, making them the perfect power for cruising, skiing and sport fishing on flats, decks and offshore boats, and pontoons or deep-V hulls. We?ve even freshened up the best-selling 150-horsepower four-stroke outboard by refining the cowling drainage and adding a tough 8-tooth ?dog clutch? to make this dependable workhouse even more reliable.

Today, our legendary V6 3.3L four strokes are proven performers, and still rock the water with:
Incredible Torque
Variable Camshaft Timing adjusts based on engine RPMs, increasing combustion efficiency and adding up to 16% more torque in the low and midrange RPMs.
Competitive Hole Shot
A 16% gain in torque in the 2000-3500 RPM range provides impressive time-to-plane and acceleration for today?s larger fishing boats.
Brute Strength
At 3.3 liters, these outboards continue to trump the displacement of comparable competitors.
Smart Convenience
All V6 3.3L outboards are mechanical control compatible, for easy repowers on boats already rigged with mechanical control boxes.

This next generation of V6 Offshore outboards features the first-ever marine application of plasma-fused sleeveless cylinders. This allowed engineers to increase the displacement to a class-leading 4.2 liters, without enlarging the outer diameter of the cylinder, keeping the motor light. The result is an outboard that is not only the lightest in its class, but that also has the largest displacement. No wonder it?s 19% faster than many other 300hp competitors.
Groundbreaking Fuel Economy
These V6s feature up to 17% better long-range fuel economy at 3500 RPM than comparable 300hp four strokes, thanks in part to a single, electronically controlled throttle valve, precision multi-point fuel injection and micro-textured cylinder walls.

The F350?s 5.3L V8 configuration is designed to easily produce 350 prop shaft horsepower, with less stress and strain on internal engine components than small displacement, high-output outboards. Four oversized valves per cylinder increase breathing efficiency and contribute significantly to this engine?s power and torque.

Weighing in at up to 80 pounds lighter than its four stroke competitors, this 16-valve SOHC (Single Overhead Camshaft) midrange four stroke offers the greatest power-to-weight ratio in its class. That makes it perfect for lightweight fishing boats, pontoons and fiberglass boats. In addition, it?s Command Link® and YCOP? compatible.
